TIWA SAVAGE AND DR SID TO HOST THE HEADIES 2013

Sensational singer Tiwa Savage and Dr Sid, have been announced as hosts for the 2013 edition of The Headies – Nigeria’s biggest and most prestigious music awards.

According to the organizers of the awards, both artistes have been selected in line with the awards’ tradition of picking talented and inspiring entertainers, to host the awards ceremony which parades some of the continent’s biggest entertainers.

Tiwa Savage has earned a place for herself as one of Nigeria’s favourite artistes since the release of her 2010 debut single Kele Kele Love. The song which was released while Tiwa was still in the US, topped charts instantly but it was the follow up single ‘Love me, Love me, Love me’ that won the hearts of many.

Speaking on The Headies 2013, Tiwa says, “Being the 8th year, it’s not easy to be consistent in a country like Nigeria. So kudos to the organizers for creating an award by Nigerians for Nigerians…it’s always sketchy when the nomination list comes up, like this year. We are not going to touch on that, we’ll just wait for the night and address those issues and we’ll go ‘all Kanye West’ on the awards…”

Joining the newly married singer at The Headies 2013 as co-host, is her label mate Sidney ‘Dr SID’ Esiri.

The Over the Moon hit maker couldn’t hold back his excitement over the organizers’ decision to choose him as a co-host for The Headies 2013. ‘I’ve been trying to host this event for the past 6 years, I’ve waited to be called to no avail and this year I’m hosting. Wow! I’m so emotional right now, I’m glad for this opportunity,’ Dr SID expressed.

The Headies 2013 will
hold on Boxing Day, December 26 at the Ground Ball Room of the Oriental Hotel,
Lekki, Lagos.

Now in its 8th year,
The Headies (also known as the HipHopWorld Awards) is Nigeria’s premiere
honours event for urbane music and hip hop culture. Produced and presented to
match some of the biggest awards shows from around the world, The Headies
annually celebrates deserving Nigerian music stars, giving honour to whom it is
due, and encouraging many to step up their game in order to enter the
prestigious Headies alumni.
